Hi Folks,

It's thursday night, should be in bed getting much needed beauty sleep but thought i'd start a new thread regarding phrases.....

E.g. a full as a tick, as blind as a bat etc....

What are your favorites?

Here are some of my favorites and I have my late nanny to thank for most of them....stephen king for a few others...proably can't tell the difference between them.... :D

Hotter than the hinges of hell (my nan!)
Colder than a well diggers' belt buckle (stephen king)
Full as an egg (Julian clary I think......)
Dryer than a nuns bits on a sunday (my dad i think..)
Sour as a witches tit (my nan again...bless her she was the sweetest woman..honest!)
Thick as a whale omelette (percy - from Blackadder i think)
As tight as a frogs bottom
As cold as a money lenders heart (my grandads favorite - bless him)
As mad as a bag of frogs (stephen king)
As sick as a pike (withnail in withnail and I - fantastic!)

Blah Blah..could go on forever with this one...over to you!!!

i'm always on the look out for new similes!

my current favourite, especially useful given the recent hot weather, is "i'm sweating like a scouser in a maths test" :D

Blackadder (to Percy):

You ride a horse rather less well than another horse would. Your brain would make a grain of sand look large and ungainly and the part of you that can't be mentioned, I am reliably informed by women around the Court, wouldn't be worth mentioning even if it could be.

:D

when discussing a lady of loose morals, one might be heard to describe the experience as "like throwing a sausage down an alley" lol

Blackadder: We're about as similar as two completely dissimilar things in a pod.

Blackadder: I'm as poor as a church mouse, that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese.

Blackadder: The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd.

Blackadder: Personally I thought you were the least convincing female impressionist since Tarzan went through Jane's handbag and ate her lipstick, but I'm clearly in a minority.

Blackadder: Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear.

Blackadder: Oh, God, God, God! What on earth was I drinking last night? My head feels like there's a Frenchman living in it

Ambassador: I hate you English. With your boring trousers and your shiny toilet paper and your ridiculous preconceptions that Frenchmen are great lovers. I'm French and I'm hung like a baby carrot and a couple of petits pois.

:D
